Occupied Crimea. In the context of russia`s large-scale aggression against Ukraine: trends

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Crimea has become and remains one of the key springboards for aggression on the whole territory of Ukraine. After February 24, 2022, there is almost no chance for a political and diplomatic way to de-occupy Crimea. Although Ukraine does not reject this option, Crimea will likely be liberated by military actions.

By the spring of 2024, the military facilities of the occupiers on the peninsula had been attacked nearly 180 times, resulting in the destruction or damage of a third of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Multiple military experts emphasize the unprecedented nature of a weaker country destroying a stronger enemy’s fleet without its own fleet.

In the meantime, Russia’s colonization of Crimea continues. The occupation administration is actively constructing railways and highways in southeastern Ukraine, potentially providing a base for further Russian military expansion and territorial seizures in the south.

To prevent these plans from materializing, Ukraine’s allies should more actively support our country’s military potential.
